... poles raised at the doors of all official residences. At Kwan-yii in W. Yunnan an old deserted yamen or government office has two stone wei-kan in front, carved in solid sandstone. In this neighbourhood there are "a curiously great number of temples, wei-kan, cemeteries, and pal fang." (The pal-fang is the pal-loo or sacred portal, as to which much is said here under the head of "The Dokana.")

... . They are of the Wonguri linguistic group of the Mandzikai clan. Their traditional songs are rich in myth and often very long. They are arranged in groups to form particular cycles.

34. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The mind boggles at the realisation that modern governments are actually inspired by such notions. Nor would there appear to be much prospect that reason will soon play much role in facilitating international relations so long as Theocratic nations are the order of the day. Given this state of affairs, critics will probably view the following commentary on the relationship between sacred myth and history as representing the very epitome of wishful thinking - offered, as it were, from the vantage point of the proverbial ivory tower. On Myth and History One of the more important problems facing students of myth is defining its relationship with history. How are we to distinguish between historical events and mythical events transmitted as sacred ...

The name resembles cortina, the cauldron or tripod. Korus, koruthos is the Greek for ...

These are informative and include carvings on stones such as spirals and lozenges. The author equates the Dagda with Jupiter/Zeus = all father and all knowledge.

... if we could permit ourselves to think it, not alone El entering the both, the god entering the stone, but leaving it, and re-ascending into heaven, with the smoke and savour of the burnt offering. F. Lenormant identified the god EI Gabal (whose name was taken by the frantic fanatic Heliogabalus, as high-priest of the sacred (tone) with the old Chaldean god of cosmic fire, Gibil, who was also called the god of the black stone. The Semitic word gabaloo means lofty, and is used in Aramean and Syrian place, names to imply heights.1 Here the central fire of the Universe-wheel (which I have to defer till later on ...
38. The Enclosed Sun-Cross [Books]
... the myths, symbolism, and nomenclature of the Four Quarters that these directions were viewed in the strict orthodoxy of heavens mythology, not as the NSEW of every spot whatever, but four heavens-divisions spread out around the pole." (1 ) The sun-cross , as the symbol of the four quarters, belongs to the central sun. In sacred cosmography the central position of the sun-god becomes the "fifth" direction. To understand such language, it is convenient to think of the mythical "directions" (or arms of the cross) as motions or flows of energy. From the great god the elements of life flow in four directions. The god himself, who embodies ...

These two items, the spring and hill of Ares, are integral elements of the Kadmos legend. Kadmos and Ares are closely associated in Theban tradition. Ares was the father of Kadmos' wife, Harmonia, as well as the progenitor of the dragon slain by Kadmos.(1 ) Kadmos' relation ...
40. Temple, Crown, Vase, Eye, and Circular Serpent [Books]
... -- VII Temple, Crown, Vase, Eye, and Circular Serpent A primary thesis of this book is that the Saturnian configuration provoked many different symbols, whose underlying relationship to a single cosmic form too often goes unnoticed. When the ancients laid out the sacred city they sought to establish a likeness of the cosmic dwelling, a circle around a fixed centre. And in organizing the first kingdoms, unifying once-separate territories, the founders followed the same celestial plan. There was only one dwelling of the great god, but this dwelling inspired imitative forms of varying scale and varying ritual functions. At root the creator's home is simply "the place," "the land ...
